I lied. Trying again complained about Mac/IDLE/Makefile.in which I
have not touched, nor is it listed as changed. OK, so I deleted it in
hopes that "fetch; rebase" would fix it; nope. So I did another ``git
reset --hard``, but I am still stuck with being told that
Mac/IDLE/Makefile.in is out of date::

Committing to svn+ssh://svn.python.org/python/trunk ...
	M	Mac/IDLE/Makefile.in
Transaction is out of date: Out of date:
'/python/trunk/Mac/IDLE/Makefile.in' in transaction '65108-1' at
/unix/bin/git-svn line 461

So I don't know how to deal with this since Git does not even list the
file as being modified.
